Comparative Patterns of Cuticular Hydrocarbon Diversity in Termites Across Castes and Nesting Life Types

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
Cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) are central to insect waterproofing and chemical communication, yet their diversity and comparative distribution in termites have not been synthesized comprehensively.

Prospects for Complete DNA Barcode Coverage of the New Zealand Insect Fauna. [PDF]

open access: yesJ R Soc N Z
The accurate identification of insects supports conservation, biosecurity and ecological monitoring. However, morphological identification is constrained by taxonomic complexity, undescribed diversity, and limited expertise. DNA barcoding can alleviate some of these challenges and complement morphological identification, if reference data are ...

Shifts in Southeastern Bat Communities Driven by Landscape Composition Rather Than Ecological Release. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol
Using 25 years of capture data from Fort Campbell Military Installation, we evaluated whether white‐nose syndrome (WNS)‐driven declines in susceptible bats were followed by increases in non‐susceptible species (ecological release) versus shifts driven by land use change, at the installation and site specific spatial scales.
